The proposal to build City Center, a convention and entertainment space for downtown Shelbyville will get a review Tuesday evening from Shelby County Fiscal Court.

Leon Mooneyhan, the man behind the project, is asking the county to contribute $12,500 toward a feasibility study of the project, and he hopes that the workshop, which will be at 6 p.m. at Stratton Center, will be well-attended by the public.

Details are still sparse on a crash on I-64 in Shelbyville in which it is believed that at least one person has died.

The crash happened around 6 p.m. in the vcinity of the 38th to 40th mile marker. Kentucky State Police are investigating the incident in which a bus is thought to be involved, possibly a Grey Hound, as well as at least one passenger car. It is not known if the incident involved one accident or two, close together.

Wednesday’s oppressive heat kept neither patrons nor competitors away from the opening night of the 21st Shelbyville Horse Show, as thousands of spectators viewed the annual equine show and festival at the Shelby County Fairgrounds.
